FAQs
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
The Old Skool silhouette generally offers a medium width. While the ComfyCush adds flexibility, individuals with very wide feet might find them snug initially. Trying them on or checking size conversion charts is recommended.
What is the main difference between these and regular Old Skools?
The primary difference is the ComfyCush technology, which provides significantly enhanced cushioning and a more responsive, comfortable feel underfoot compared to the traditional Old Skool construction.
Can I wear these for running?
These shoes are designed for casual wear and light activities. They do not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for running.
How do I determine my UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Vans or the retailer. Generally, the UK size is listed directly, but it's always best to measure your foot length and compare it to the brand's specific recommendations.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Vans Old Skool Overt ComfyCush are not waterproof. They are made from canvas and suede, which can absorb water. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
How durable is the ComfyCush sole?
The ComfyCush sole is constructed from a co-molded foam and rubber, designed for durability and comfort in everyday use. Like all shoe soles, excessive wear and tear will eventually affect its lifespan.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash Vans shoes, especially those with suede components, as it can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure and adhesive.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Allow for a break-in period as the ComfyCush sole and materials will adapt to your foot shape. You can also try slightly loosening the laces.
Squeaking noise from soles
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help reduce friction.
Dirt or stains on the shoe
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains on suede, use a dedicated suede cleaner and brush.
